Expands the health education curriculum to include breast cancer screenings

This bill, "Siena's Law," requires New York public schools to add age-appropriate instruction on breast cancer self-examinations to senior high school health education courses. It mandates that certified health teachers provide this content as part of the required curriculum, alongside other cancer prevention and detection methods. Local school boards may also choose to include similar instruction in elementary and middle schools. The law affects all public school students in New York, with specific requirements beginning in high school. It takes effect July 1, 2025, after enactment.
